I am having a discussion with my son, about How God is 3 persons in one God. He thinks Jesus. (The son) is a separate God, that is lesser than The Father God, and the Holy Spirit is just the “essence” of God. Can anyone give me a good analogy to explain how God is 3 person IN ONE God. They are all fully GOD, yet all have their own separate purpose/office. But is yet all part of ONE God, and though Jesus says The Father is greater than HE is, He is STILL FULLY GOD, and FULLY Human, and still FULLY one part of a SINGLE God that has three parts? I have tried with a few analogies. He STILL says I am wrong because Jesus says in the Bible, The Father is Greater. And that He, (Jesus) does not know what The Father thinks about things, like the day He, (Jesus), will return. My son thinks if Jesus was really one in the same God, as the Father, then He would know the day and the hour of His return. Please back up all you can with actual scripture and address of the scripture you use?
